Kemembrances OF Early DAYS.

A somewhat usual gathering was held
at the parsonage of the First M. E.
church last evening. In response to
nearly half hundred invitations sent
out by the pastor, Rev. G. W. Cue, and
his wife. about half as many guests dined
at the parsonage. The intention was to
get together as many of the elder mems
bers of the parish. both in age and point
of connection with the church, as posi- =
BILE, their age ranging about seventy
years. 1t was genuine reunion of the
patriarchs of former days and happy
affair it was indeed. Speeches were
made by Rev. and Mrs. Cue and Judge
Cock. The singing of the the hymn
"Auld Lang Syne" followed and then
came an appropriate prayer by the pas
ter, and afterward social good time.

The No-Money Plea.

For some weeks there has been great
hue and cry of scarcity of money.
First it started in the great centers of
trade and then gradually radiated to all
parts of the country. Meetings we're
held in the East and the moneyed men
and financierS called upon the govern
ment for aid and asked that it put into
circulation S14,000,000 by calling in some
OF its obligations. A great many people
found great difficulty in seeing what
reason there was for such a scarcity of
money, and how it should come upon
the country so suddenly, especially
when the country was enjoying period
OF something more than ordinary pros
perity. The following statement i,
taken from the New York Times real
estate article of Oct. 2. The statement,
made in this article, it will be observed.
are wholly opposed to all ideas of scar
city of money:
The spectacle is thus presented of mar
ket III which the seekers of property far out
number those who offer it. Conseauentlv
there are more obstacles than ever before to
active trading, and while the market offers
FEWER temptations to spectators than in
former seasons it has become invested with
quality of stability heretofore unknown.
just in proportion as this change has been
brought about has the business of mortgages
become curtailed. The loaning institutions are
full of money. They have to watch every
chance to place mortgages, and the chances
are far from abundant. Last year loans were
not uncommon at 5 per cent. ANY shaving
of that rate was certain to tempt owners.
Now the lenders are eager to place their
money at dig per cent. and willing to put it
out at per cent. on good property. Prop
erty fully improved and needing no repairs
can readily command loan at the lowest of
the above rates. The higher rates are ex-
acted only against those who are unfortu-
10h IN how arf,- tI,at
up-top shape. An application of the loan or
part of 1t to make the property as it should
pc enables owners to secure at once the
lower rate, besides yielding. as matter of
course, more substantial revenue. Thus the
inducements TO keeping property in the best
condition are of the most practical charac-
ter.
Now if these statements are true. if
"the lOaning institutions are full of
money" and are troubled to loan it, and
II, as the Times states, money lenders
who received per cent. last June are
glad to get AZ and even per cent. now,
what becomes of this cry of no money?
1t is probable that whether it be true or
not that there is now and has been for
some weeks a scarcity of money, the
announcement of the fact all through
the country has had a very salutary
effect in checking speculation and caus-
ing all kinds of business to return to a
more healthy basis. 1t is possible that
it was about time to slow up little.
Throughout the whole length and
breadth of the land the country had
been prosperous for several years, and
many men in all parts of the country
had invested heavily, and in many III
stances they had gone in deeper than
was safe for them. Under such circum-
stances it was safer and better to be
stopped, even by false statement, than
20 90 OH headlong to ruin.

ever, has not been active, or anything
like active. On the contrary, while
there has been something doing all the
time, the amount of property transferred
amounts only to about S143, 900 each day.
All holders are very firm, and no prop
erty to speak of is being urged for sale.
Prices are strong. The cry raised that
money was scarce and the call upon the
general government to buy up bonds
to the amount of S14,000,000, has
had very decided effect on
the realty market and has checked
sales vely materially, and it looks now
as though it would take several months
time to recover from the check thus put
upon sales. Business still continues to
be well distributed all over town. Some
been in town during the week looking
around for business property, and all
the week this de cription has had the
preference. Dayton's bluff realty is
still attracting attention, and is coming
up in value quite rapidly. The same
may be said of all the realty along Rice
street, especially out in the vicinity of
Prince street, where the car barns are.
This property is rapidly increasing in
value, and is commanding special atten-
ton. OF course the Midway property is
regarded as among the best in the city.
West st. Paul is good, as usual. and re-
ceives its full share of consideration.
There is, in fact, no part of the city
where realty is not held firmly up to the
best figures, or where holders are not
firm in demanding the best figures. AS
a general thing those who have mort
cages coming due are ready to meet
them. And this is the principal conSid-
Grafton that causes the market to be SO
firm. There is no danger of flood of
foreclosures. Most persons feel that
the check put upon the buying and sell
ing by the report of scarcity of money
has been good thing, and undoubtedly
il has been

at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, 60 fine
lots in the above named addition.
This property deserves more than
passing notice, situated as it is,
conveniently located near the depots
ON the Sault Ste. Marie and st. Paul
and st. CrOix Falls railroads, and
on the direct communication be-
tween st. PauPs two fine lakes on
the banks of which will be located
two of the finest parks in the North

been kept quiet during the busy real
estate season, the owner having re-
fused all offers, but owing to a de-
sire to make some extensive I'M
provements, has decided to throw
the property on the market at what
ever price the people are willing to
pay for it. To those who seek a
profitable investment, and one upon
which quick returns can be made, 1
can recommend this property. The
terms will be made very easy. Full
particulars as to terms and cOndi-
lions of sale will be announced in a

About 5000 pounds of elk meat was
shipped into this market last Saturday by
Jack Burns and the Boroh brothers. These
gentlemen form trio of the most success
full deer hunters in the Rocky mountains,
and are well known to every old timer in
this section Of the country. The Boroh boys
have followed hunting professionally, for
nearly twenty years. and are famous as
guides to eastern tourists, who make Lead
vile a center from which to visit the wild
recesses of the surrouning hills, to hunt the
game with which they abound. They lead
from three to five parties of pleasure-seek-
ers into the mountains every season, and
knowing the haunts and habits!!of the game,
they furnish the tenderfoot nimrod with
every variety of sport known to the hills.
Mr.. Boroh reports that upon the trip from
which he has just returned, he encountered
band ofabout one hundred mountain sheep
down in the Sweetwater country. These
animals, although protected by the law, are
not numerous, and but for the protection
thus afforded, wonld have long since been
extinct.-Leadville Herald-Democrat
